Well seems Lunar New Year is a thing. I never knew about it. But you know what that means for mobile games. SPECIALS EVERYWHERE!

This game has a Lunar New Year Event of giving out bonus EXP and Gold. as well as an event quest that doesn't make much sense in terms of prizes.

So a long with the Age of Ultron Uniforms costing 1 gold. There's an event quest going on where you fight in the streets of New York while trying to dodge incoming traffic.

These drivers don't care you're trying to save the world they gotta get to work and will run you down. Who cares if you're the Hulk. In this world. Car > Hulk.

While the vehicles don't do much damage they can potentially stun you. Which may lead to trouble when the bosses come out. But it's easy. You'll collect New Year tokens and can spend them on prizes. Best to save those token for the Rank Up tickets.

Whatever reason Gilgamesh Can't Use Jump. Friend Noctis Could and others but Gilgamesh's jump Won't activate. It just uses MP and that's it.

Update
This is truly a stupid oversight by the developers. So Noctis jump will always work cause it targets himself. Yet others can't cause there's no Target to attack.

Why is this stupid? Cause every other action in the game works except jump regardless of enemy. They just count as misses. Limit Burst as well. It's a bug that likely won't get fixed in the game cause the bigger issue is the game crashing bug among others.

Goals #1 - New Videocard

I've talked about it plenty of times (assuming ppl listened). But I do need a new videocard. Problem is that I never really have the money for it. Besides that problem I have to deal with what kind I actually need. At first I was going based off the minimum requirements that Killer Instinct 3 needs to be playable. (If you saw that video then you know I could barely play the game at 30 frames per second. So I looked up that card...way too expensive.

Then I keep seeing this one advertised by Raptr. The AMD Gaming Evolved app that you can get if you're using AMD cards. It keeps advertising this coupon for a SAPPHIRE R9 270 Graphics Card. I think this has been here for years but apparently it's a good card? I don't know. I know it's going for a decent price in various placees. It's still the price of a console but not a next gen console price.

My last issue with this is whether or not I'll have the right card. I'm not entirely too sure on PC space. I'm pretty sure it should fit with no problems. But would it connect with my motherboard or whatever. This I don't know and there's no real way for me to find out with ease. And every guide I read on videocards has confusing information going on with it. So you see my conumdrum here.

Goal #2 DS/3DS Capture Card

I know I know you guys have been secretly yelling at me about this for the longest time about any video I do with my DS/3DS. I know the quality is bad. There's not much I can do about it. People are more or less spoiled by the capture card schitck that it feels like other methods of recording aren't allowed.
The thing is I don't have $300 - $500 to throw away like that. It is up there as a goal but I wonder if I should even bother. My general issue with handheld games is that they're on a small screen. I don't play games on the go even when I have a smartphone. I always play at home.

Goal #3 Wii-U

Unless this Nintendo Switch which to my knowledge has no price tag can play Wii-U games I want a Wii-U. Pokken still interest me along with a few other games.

Goal #4 PS4

Sadly World of Final Fantasy, KH whatever, and FF7 Remake is coming to this.

So it's been a minute since I started playing this game. I really buckled down and started doing Ranked Matches to my surprise. Reached D0 Rank which to that idiot Facebook group means shit. But to me in the small amount of time I played means a lot.

Rise of Bahamut set is released. I guess it was out in Japan for awhile like EVERYTHING else is first before it goes everywhere else. I took a look at the new cards I got and went WTF is with these cards. This set brought a whole new meta to the table. And honestly I feel this was too fast for a new card game. And with that new meta a plethora of lewd, sexy card designs with it. I swear I saw Nine the Phantom from Blazblue drawn as if it was fanart.

So to what's this new meta in this game that might just progressively ruin the card game like many others that try to add new **** to there game to keep it fresh. Shadowverse adds what's called Enhance.

Enhance basically if a card has that kind of effect whenever you play that card if you have the required amount of play points/mana to use the Enhance effect it automatically activates. So you don't get a say so as to whether or not you want to activate this effect. It just happens. But the effects are somewhat worth it depending on the card or what you're trying to do. Just know this changes the game a lot cause you can only have a max of 10 play points and often times these Enhance effects eat up 6 or more points. So unless you're some god of the game that can manipulate card cost at will. This pretty much takes everything the tutorial taught me and tosses it out a 7 story building window, then drops a bigger how to play manual in front of me saying, "I'm the new teach of this class. This is what you will learn from now on."

I hate this with a lot of games since it slowly but surely breaks away from the core game. Yugioh did this heavily. Introducing Synchros, then XYZ, then Pendelum or whatever the hell it's called. Hearthstone did this in the worst way by basically saying...yeah those cards are old so you can't use them in this mode of play. However you can use them here. I'm rather worried about this whole Enhance BS since now you'll have a difficult time bringing things out that you want. And deck management is gonna be hell.

To give an idea of what I saw in the set of cards released. And what I drew.

ForestCraft is still ForestCraft and sacrifices a lot of fairies to Link to win.
SwordCraft got a lot more complicated to play.
RuneCraft is even more complicated
ShadowCraft is feasible and lives up to it's playstyle better.
DragonCraft is slowly creepin to be the best of them all.
BloodCraft is actually feasible to play now without being suicidal
HavenCraft is showing its true colors in how evil it is.

Sadly there's no update to the story. So that's a big disappointment. I guess we're gonna leave these 7 heroes in this void of paradise as the world comes to an end.

So will I continue this game? I don't know. Like I said I play off audience somewhat (although that's about to change). We'll see.
